    press purge button when opening tank valve?

    I use the poseidon xstream reg and have noticed the second stage "free flows" for a second or so when you first turn on the bottle. I called poseidon to ask about this and was told "it does that to soften the first stage seating under the high pressure when the tank is first turned on". and that...

    Delta P VR3 or Nitek He

    I have the HE and love it. its easy to use, not too big, not too small, the screen lights up for seeing in the dark, the battery is easy to replace if need be, the download cradle is easy to use and I have called dive-rite on a few occasions for questions and got a quick answer every time. The...

    Regulator service in NY?

    uh, I hate to rain on your parade, the service isn't done in house... The last person I know who took their regs there and had them serviced, tried to get them back after two weeks to take someplace else, was told "they're not here"... I've been to their store and there is no service area...

    Regulator service in NY?

    if you don't mind the ride, Long Island Scuba in lindenhurst has the best tech around for regs. Both the Nassau and Suffolk police dive teams send all their gear there, along with most of the FD teams in the area. Ralph has been servicing regs for a looooooooooooooong time and knows every brand...

    HID light capabilities for wreck diving

    just make sure the bulb is a spot and not a flood and HID will win every time over any other light types out there I have a 10w spot and it cuts through the murky crap here in NY waters like a laser beam. I'd never go back to a regular halogen bulb...

    Poseidon 1st stage creep

    The newer poseidons (not the Xstreams) have two relief valves, one in the first stage body (thats what the little plug in the bottom is) and a second relief valve in the hose connection to the second stage (this is the same as the Xstreams), and the beuchat will open up and blow off pressure...

    Andrea Doria Divers

    with the exception of the remote local and the depth which is easily ratified with proper gasses and a nice boat, the doria and the ginild aren't even close to the same thing... The gunild sounds like a great wreck for trimix training, but not even close to the danger level of the doria. The...

    Faber Steel Tank Questions

    if you rinse them after every dive and take care to inspect them for any chips and repair as needed the fabers will last a long time. as far as the 85's vs. the 95's.... the 95's are short and fat, the 85's tall and thin. I had a doubled set of both and I found the 95 to be harder to move...

    Poseidon 1st stage yoke

    If your reg has a DIN fitting, then when the din is very tight, it won't swivel... it should only be finger tight. with the captured O-ring it doesn't have to be tight to seal right. The part of the din fitting face that holds the O-ring is solid mounted into the reg body. the din face is not...

    Dry Suit Inflator or Inflation Hose

    The hose that comes with DUI drysuits has an oversized lock ring that is very easy to grab with heavy gloves on vs. a standard BC connection. The Dui hose has no restrictor or anything and fits a standard BC fitting as well. either design will work. Heres a pic of a DUI hose and a standard BC hose.

    Reg Question

    why is that? I have mixed poseidon stages with other brands and had no problems. doing it with a jetstream/odin could be a problem if you don't have an OPV on the first stage. what do you think will be a problem with a cyklon?

    Tank Questions

    yup, you won't hurt the galvanized finish unless you use some kind of blade to scrape off the goo or try to use something like a wire wheel.... even the strongest household cleaners won't do anything to the hot dipped galvanizing.

    Tank Questions

    same thing, use a little veg oil... takes the glue goo right off, goo gone will work also and won't do anything to the unpainted surface.
